Tether Diversifies Into Health Tech With Privacy-Focused Wellness App
Tether, the stablecoin giant, has launched QVAC Health—a wellness platform that aggregates fitness tracker and wearable data into an encrypted, offline dashboard. The move marks a strategic pivot into consumer health technology as the company expands beyond its core cryptocurrency business.
The app processes health metrics, nutrition data, and activity patterns entirely on-device using AI, avoiding cloud servers. Experimental features include computer vision for meal analysis and planned Bluetooth integration with wearables, bypassing manufacturer APIs.
QVAC Health aligns with growing demand for privacy-centric health tools amid scrutiny of Big Tech's data practices. Tether's foray follows recent investments in robotics and other tech sectors, signaling broader ambitions.
